This is why, before any major upgrade, I bring up the same OS in a
virtual machine under VMWare, and configure the major services I care
about to match my real configuration, and do a test run there first.
Well, that's what I do on Linux. I'd do it on Windows, too, but the
license won't let me. I'd have to buy a new license just to do this
test. Oh, I suppose I could stop using my copy on the Windows box, and
use that license in the virtual machine, and then move it back to the
Windows box when I'm done...but then I'll run into major hassles with
activation and WGA.
